94 ultimate networking, interviewing, negotiating, resume and job board resources find a better gig

Meta intro (feel free to skip):

The past couple weeks I’ve been pretty bummed about the state of the industry and the continuous job cuts at newspapers (most recently from the NYTimes, Chicago Tribune and San Jose Mercury News). That disappointment has been amplified by the growing amount of negativity and dog-fighting among journalism blogs. One that most perfectly personifies this is AngryJournalist.com. (Disclosure: Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s an interesting site and I linked to Angry Journalist earlier in the week, but what at first seemed kind of humorous/entertaining, is now just getting sad the more I read it.)

So for all the pink slip receivers or for those that hate their jobs and want a new one, grab your bootstraps and this list and do something about your situation. I know there’s a lot of hiring freezes right now but there’s a lot of resources here that could help you outside of the traditional newspaper job (if they don’t want your talent, it’s their loss). So below I’ve listed some of the best stuff from my delicious bookmark archive, including:

  • 14 professional networking resources
  • 14 interviewing and negotiating resources
  • 25 resume resources
  • 41 places to find jobs

Stay positive and keep up the good fight.
